§ 86. Mr. George Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his timetable for the completion of each stage of the M4; and to what extent the programme has slipped.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasMorriston Bypass is due for completion in August, 1972. Decisions on starting dates for the other announced sections must await completion of the statutory processes but it remains my objective to extend the M4 to Pontardulais by 1976.
§ 87. Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to expedite the provision of crash barriers along the central reservation of the South Wales section of the M4, and to reduce the number of accidents on this motorway.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasThe provision of these barriers is being proceeded with urgently. Survey and design work has been completed and I hope erection will begin in July when the barriers have been supplied.
